Genymotion: a good Android Device Emulator

  • By Alessandro M.
  • on 06/29/2022

What do you like best about the product?
Genymotion is a good Android device emulator that don't use too much computer RAM to run. This help to build and run apps very quickly. It can be used as a side option for Android Studio if you are a developer. It can run without problems with any APK that can be installed with an easy Drag and Drop.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all emulated devices are supported by Google Play Services. A tricky procedure grants the possibility to install them but the user has to know exactly which version is compatible with the emulated device. A better and more user friendly automated solution with a wizard tool could improve it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an Android App developer often it is necessary to test UI response and accessibility on different devices (phone or tablet) with different screen resolutions or check if the logic for a more complex App works perfectly across 2 or more devices at the same time. Genymotion, as Android Studio, provide the perfect tool and options to manage more virtual devices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The first running of a new device emulation could require a longer wait for the setup so don't drop it. If your virtual devices requires Google Services, I suggest to read some good tutorial about Open GAPPS to select the right installation pack.
